It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Abortion is supported by 3 out of 4 Mainers, but a popular network of clinics that provides it alongside primary care has been shut out of Medicaid by the Trump administration, which also targeted Planned Parenthood. n.pr/48jMkt4

Not to be a doomer, downer, or doubter, but I never counted on Schumer or any elite to save us. They need to be worried whether we'll save them to ever do the right thing.

I don't get Medicaid.
I’m not on food stamps.
I rely on no Social Safety nets.
But I still believe in FULLY funding these programs.
Why?
Because I'm not a cruel ruthless selfish piece of shit.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.
